Ben Affleck's mother, Christine Affleck, is reportedly helping her son to cope with the divorce.
It was in June when Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner announced they were getting a divorce, just a day after they celebrated their 10th year wedding anniversary. Apparently, according to a report after the announcement the Hollywood hunk is leaning onto his mom to get through the split.
"Ben's mum Christine is in full control of everything right now as he picks up the pieces from his broken marriage, a source revealed to Grazia magazine. Chris' boys, Casey and Ben, have always been the apple of her eye, ever since her husband left her. Ben's always been close to his mum, but he seems to have taken it to a whole new level since the split."
The source further claimed that Ben's mom got concerned over her son's condition because since the split she noticed that Affleck barely cleans himself and eats a lot to ease his stress. Now, she reportedly wants to help him bounce back and get over with the divorce.
"Ben's in a pretty bad way. He's not really taking care of himself, he's not shaving, hardly washing and eating a lot of junk food and his mum can't bear to see him like this. She convinced him to stay in their family home so she could nurse him back to health. Now she's really pushing for him to move in full-time once he starts filming," the insider added.
Affleck spends a lot of time in Boston, Massachusetts with his mother while Jennifer Garner and their three children, Violet nine-year-old, six-year-old Seraphina and Samuel three year old, have remained in Los Angeles in their family home.
The estrange couple were last seen together at the farmers market in LA suburb of Pacific Palisades. They were walking around the market with their three kids.
